Radioactive Boar On the Rise In Germany
Germans who go out in the woods today are sure of a big surprise, radioactive boars. A portion of the wild boar population in Germany was irradiated after the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, and the boars are thriving. In the last two years government payments to compensate hunters for radioactive boar have quadrupled. From the article: "According to the Environment Ministry in Berlin, almost €425,000 ($555,000) was paid out to hunters in 2009 in compensation for wild boar meat that was too contaminated by radiation to be sold for consumption. That total is more than four times higher than compensation payments made in 2007." I think the Germans are overlooking just how much money there is to be made from regenerating bacon.

Germany could market these as "Self-Cooking Boar!"
Too lazy to cook? No fuel for your stove? No problem - just shoot, wrap in foil, and a few hours later...DINNER!
I need trepanation like I need a hole in the head.
Ahh, reminds me of my Magic: The Gathering days... cast "Wild Growth" on the "Dusterwaldkeiler" and goodbye to enemy "Serra Angel"s. Muhaha
For every problem, there is at least one solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
"You don't have to be a nuclear physicist to realize that it's only a matter of time before one of these deer reaches critical mass, and some unsuspecting sportsperson takes a shot at it, and BLAM, all that's left of the immediate forest is a large crater and a mushroom cloud containing billions of tiny glowing sports molecules. We can only hope, as caring humans, that such a tragedy never occurs; or, if it does, that it will be available on rental videocassette." --Dave Barry
At least the Yao Guai and Deathclaw populations remain at normal levels.

Just a idea. Sit down. Have a drink. Now don't get mad at me or all stressed out, I know it's hard to deal with new things. Just consider to concept at least:
Read the Fucking Article.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
I, for one, welcome our new radioactive grass-eating overlords
...must not make "Peter Porker" joke...
Then it swerved left and settled over France, first diminishing the intelligence of local elected officials (which went undetected), before finally being fermented into a new "glow in the dark" cheese.
Happy to have finally found a home, the Radioactive Cloud settled down and while currently still unattached, hopes to one day have little "Containment Leaks".
(sorry all, I think I'm in a giddy mood today)

I admit I'm just an ignorant American, but surely this doesn't make any sense?
I like the part where driving directions were used instead of walking ones.
If radioactive boars have learned to drive, we're in even bigger trouble than we thought.
Not much. You find yourself quite boared.
